They both have their advantages and disadvantages

Old Bounties
1.You will have more confidence promoting the project because there is more higher chances of getting paid.
2. You can keep for long term since theyve been around for awhile so you dont have to worry about project exiting scam anytime.
3. They are already listed on many exchanges and you dont have to hold them in your wallets for a very long time like many new projects
4.Payouts and rewards are extremely very low,ive earned 10$ for promoting a old bounty project for weeks.

New Bounties
1. New bounties are plague with one delay after another.
2. You might hold tokens or coins for more than a year due to not getting listed on exchanges very soon
3. The tokens or coins might be useless or find out the project is scam since many new projects are mostly scam or shit projects
4. Lots of work is required when doing research on new projects than already existing old projects
5. New bounties always brings the highest profits as per details derived from hunters.

What do you guys have to say about my post? Am i making any sense or not?

Yeah, new bounties tend to have better good results especially some projects conducting IEO on reputable exchanges.
Actually, it's quite easy to research on IEO project running a bounty campaign.

Makes sense to me I always prefer old bounties because it guarantees rewards, compares to new bounties, where there are uncertainties if you are going to get your coins, and if you are going to get it at the right time I still have some coins that I haven't received until now and it's almost 7 months.

And of course, you have no idea of the price of the token, because you will wait to wait for months or even a year to see the price and if it is higher or lower from the actual price of the coin.

Old bounties have clear advantages over new ones, that is why bounty hunters will always choose old bounties to new bounties.

I think you mean about old bounties already listed that coin on exchanges. They are really good because we can guarantee about the project is legit and listed on exchanges. But we have some risks too. Because some exchanges listed coins also can be scammed. But those bounties have low allocations and getting a large number of participants. That means participants rewards will be a low amount. I think the new bounties means projects in ICO/IEO period before getting launch. Those bounties give more allocations than coins already listed on exchanges. The best thing is we cannot predict about exchanges and prices when we working on bounties. We can get a good amount of rewards from it if you choose correct bounties.

The perfect way to earn better profit from old bounties is to join multiple campaigns like twitter,facebook,instagram ,article and signature campaign,doing this will increase your payout and since there is higher chances of getting paid its way better than new bounty projects

I know that new bounties are more risky than old bounties but lets not forget that if you promote new bounties and the project get successful you will get more profits than you will ever get from old bounties,after comparing some new bounty projects from 2018-2019 that paid bounty hunters and trading as well ive come to realize that some new bounty projects can be better

If this IEO is not in Binance, then it is not so simple.
For more than a year of participation in the bounties, I received rewards from only ~20% of the campaigns (for ICO, STO, IEO). At the same time, many of them are not traded on exchanges or are naught value. Only the hope of recovery and development keeps me here.

I prefer old bounties to a new one for obvious reason, we are working for several months and we need to support ourselves, we need guaranty that we are going to get rewards from all hard work, new bounties are like gambling you never know if you are going to win or lose and you will have to wait for months to find out.

If not that new bounties have greater chance of giving a participants a good return if it goes to exchange, the fear of being scam is high.

Then, new bounty exposes someone to new project and technology.

What you say here is true with the facts on the ground. This is definitely very different between the old bounty and the new one.
Usually what sets them apart is the allocation in each bounty between the new and the old one. And with what you write here, surely people can choose to participate in the old bounty (if any) or the new bounty.

Old bounties have better advantages over new projects,promoting old bounties you can easily predict how much you will earn but with new bounties you wont know what you will get even after the token get listed on exchanges and you will have to worry about price dump as well,too many new bounties always end up losing value due to dumps

Comparing new and old rewards for participating in ICO bounty campaigns is very difficult due to the different market conditions. Last year, the completely bearish altcoins market plummeted to 90–95 percent. During a period of good bitcoin price growth this year during April - June, altcoins rose very weakly in price compared to the growth of bitcoin. Therefore, the result of current rewards does not please us as before. However, everything is changing, cryptocurrency continues to evolve. Now we can see more diversity in the platforms issuing new tokens and I especially like the new trend of passive income from holding some new tokens. This is a completely new approach to working with cryptocurrency. Here we really begin to be interested in holding tokens, and not just seek the benefits of their sale.

The problem with most old bounties is the reward,you will have to join many campaigns to earn 50$ from old bounties and its not that different from new bounties in terms of rewards but some new bounties have higher rewards if they maintain the ICO price or get listed on big exchanges,either old or new its better to promote bounty projects based on how good the projects are and not how much you will make.

In my opinion, old bounty are even more profitable compared to new bounty in terms of payment, their average payment is above $ 100 dollars. while their new gift gives us a lot of benefits, while their new bounty gives us many benefits, but when they send us tokens, the price no longer matches what was stated.

Old and new bounties are actually 100% the same in terms of how they are done. 3 years ago you just needed to Tweet every day or even reshare posts. Same thing happens today,,, just check the bounty threads the same participants doing the same activities for tokens.

But you are right, now it requires more research. But then most hunters copy others or are just multis so,,, really is not that much different to me!

I've once thought about the rate at which new projects are flooding the cryptosphere and because of the fact that there's no strict restrictions on new entering, many projects without a sound understanding of what they want to offer keep emerging. Bounty hunting is not as lucrative as it use to be and several persons are complaining and working away. Most times we join bounties with faith, hoping that the project pays as planned.

I agree with all your points, but if you are a social media promoters or a blogger you can join as many campaigns as you can and want, although it's much more rewarding doing bounty on old bounties I still feel there are still coins with good potential in the market, so it's also worth participating in a new campaign.

Correct old bounties are very trustworthy unlike nowadays. Wherein a lot of efforts being wasted because of some scam project and play money on bounty section.

I think you were the luckiest person on this forum  if you receive at least 10-15$  within 3 month while participating in different bounties.. Because  you know legit project are very rare now to see on this kind of work.  

All is true except number 4 in old bounties and number 5 in new bounties. Old bounties was much profitable. They were able to raise much more money. So the shares of bounty participants was bigger.
Current bounties some time claim big rewards. But as they don't raise big money, they decrease the share of bounty participants. Even if people get their rewards as was promised, their real value is likely much lower after hitting exchanges.

Old bounties is the best, your payment is guaranteed and majority of the projects are legit unlike the New bounties where out of 10 projects only 2-3 might be legit. Infact the New bounties is just like the game of luck

I agree that before there is a higher chance to earn for the bounty hunters hard works but now both the hunters and the investors are in risk when joining the new projects. For the unsuccessful projects this is maybe due to bear market which is i think is still in effect while for the victims of the scam i think we need more regulation upgrade to eliminate those thieves.

I wont suggest holding new bounty tokens for long term because
1. They always lose value after few price surge,i hold few and im lost 80% of value already,many new altcoins are not getting enough investors like the top altcoins
2. Some new projects have a very good start but as time goes on they start fading bit by bit due to one problem or the other from teams or funds

This is a new bounty problem that is happening now. There are so many projects that do not pay participants, if they pay, they also have no value. That is a significant difference between the new bounty and the old bounty.

This is very reasonable and it is important to remember that not all bounties, old or new, also have bounties that have a long period of time, even up to 1 year or more. I tend to get bounties that get paid faster than following old bounties but the ends are scam.

In my opinion, the bounties have long died. In general, I do not see the point in them, including the bountists who spend a lot of time for a penny.
ps I have been like that as well

I believe both are good and bad, they have their advantages and disadvantages,  I think I would go for new bounties carrying out Initial exchange offering on a reputable exchange. New bounties tend to pay more if they succeed.

Old bounty projects already have fixed value so the tokens you are going to earn will be so limited unless the old project is worthless,you cant expect to make 50,000 tokens from an old bounty project when the value it around 0.50 cent on exchanges,you will be luck to get 100$ worth of tokens from old bounties this is why i dont like old bounty projects

of course that makes sense and that is a fact.
indeed the old bounty need not be doubted, i did not think long to register on the old project and the work was not too difficult but the results were very good. different from the new bounty, i have to work hard to find a good project but the results are sometimes not as i expected.

The tokens that we can earn will depend on the owner or on the manager but it will always be limted because there is no such thing as unlimited rewards  . fixed value isnt also possible because there are fluctuations  before and after the listing of the coin  .

Your saying that old bounties were bad compare to newer bounties these days ?  Strange  . most people actually prefer older bounties as they are more paying

Bounty is now very unprofitable , email me the last bounty where paid more than$ 100 , I was doing the bounty for about 2 years , and over the last fifteen years have not met the bounty which gave very good money.

of course it makes sense, but usually if the old gift of income is smaller than the new gift if paying, that is the risk that the new gift can be paid for and not.

Of course yes, you have stated good points, which are typical examples of what is happening to participating in the different forms of campaigns, but I have my reservation on your point number two.
I have seen two different coins listed already, that held campaigns sometimes ago, yet today, they do not have volume as it were. One of them has totally lost its volume and has been delisted on the exchange it was trading the most. That alone is comparable to a scam project.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, although old bounties are more preferable, you can till join new bounties because as a bounty participant, you are not limited to what you can dom if you are a full-time bounty hunter you can include both on your campaign

I long term bounties has both the advantages and disadvantages as well.If you do a old and mean which coin has already on the market that's will be good thinking .We have to do t .On the other hand a long term initial project will make you frustrated if it is not been success or scammed.However a new bounties always offer you a good rewards .But most of them make complicated the rewards system .But we need to research every project before participating.

I prefer a new bounty. Because their tokens could be higher than the old bounty coins. And many new bounties that I think are better than the old bounties. But there is one risk, new bounties are more likely not to pay bounty hunters if their token prices are high in exchange.

Old bounty campaigns are a lot different from this new ones. 2017 bounties to be exact are more profitable than current existing bounties because we have proof that we are paid good amount. Unlike nowadays that bounties are just making false promises on their projects and payments to bounty hunters

When comparing the old bounty with the new one the difference is quite a lot, now many bounties use KYC for token income requirements. even though this many do not agree and object, the article uses personal data.

I agree with your list here, but I think there is a mix up somewhere, I believe you are meant to carry the number 5 for new project to number 4 of older projects because the highest pay I have ever received for promoting older project is $1500.

When the older projects that we have now had their ICO, many hunters became rich through them, and many were paid genuinely, some of those project even entered exchange on time for people to change their token, but newer projects has only even been using hunters without paying them , and if they have to even pay, they pay so much little like that $10, ask anyone who has participate in newer projects, you will see that none of them has gotten more than $100 in a single project.

who knows why it is happening. maybe because of market. or maybe because of devs prefer to finish the projects, than promote it. plus exchanges want huge money for listing.

Both have pros and cons like OP said in his opening post. I think is hard to compare Old and New bounties, there were scam bounties before like there are now, the same is with good and profitable bounties. For better results, we can try to compare specific bounties, for example, to try to find the best Old bounty and try to compare it with the best New bounty, or to do the same with worst bounties from before and now.

The bounties before looks good than today because there are no scammers. Before projects can easily get investors to invest in them that is why many are successful. People doing bounties before are few compare today that is why only a few bounty hunters will enjoy the allocated tokens from bounties.

for new bounty there is something lacking because at the moment I am observing and experiencing a lot of new bounty that do distribution with a 6 month, locking system and also the prizes obtained by the hunter do not really guarantee that they will get high rewards, especially for IEO because I only see a few who get high rewards and not many IEOs that hold bounties,for choice I still choose new bounty to look for luck

Kinda disagree with this point, when I was promoting a project on 2017 I got something really awesome even my bounty rewards 6 month on 2019 is not enough to compare with what I got in 2017. Probably you were following wrong projects like what we did now.

Always is not a correct word I think where the profit is not the highest you can find on 2019.

It make sense to me since im also tired of promoting new bounties(* but not all) that requiring to much works but in the end its useless, the worst is they even tricked the bounty hunters by changing the rules after the bounty was already finish locking the bounty tokens for than 6 months to 1 year! thats why im preferred to old bounties that already listed on CMC meaning their coins/tokens was already liquid. i dont care if its just an average in payment the more important is they are honest and paid us accordingly! but im not totally close for new bounties because some of it was still honest,promising and true to their words, just like the signature that im wearing its a good and promising project that backed by real gold.

the positive points that I will take about old prizes or new prizes are dependent on the developer or their project team, it's just that the profits from the old token project already have their own exchanges and can be traded directly, in contrast to new gifts that have to wait a long time to trade their tokens .

I think majority of old bounties were good and trustworthy because scammers are less than today. New bounties now requires good manager/trustworthy/popular/ and professional before getting the trust of participants, investors, and partners.

How old are we talking about?
there are so many ICO before which is not around anymore or not even listed in any exchange.
ICO started to failed last 2018 because of many scam projects.
So how long we are talking about, coz between 2018 and now i am more confident now!

Now the difference is not particularly obvious. The fact is that most people are used to that bounty companies are fraudulent both new and old. A lot of people have faced the problem of freezing tokens or freezing ICO. And how do you think they thawed? No, they are still not serviced by developers.

I prefer to join the new bounty. The reason is because the new bounty has the potential to grow. Although the rewards that have been promised, are sent in a long period of time or even locked up for a few months.

NEW BOUNTIES.

Way less allocation to the signature campaigns, many times- none signature bounty.
There are small amount of new campaigns compared to the past.
Definitely less pay.
KYC everywhere, all campaigns ask for KYC.

You are right about what both Old and New Bounties are exactly, And I would prefer to work with the Old Bounties but the reality is most old project are no longer offering bounties and some very few new bounties too are just exactly like the old bounties.

Everytime when I am choosing a bounty campaign I do a deep research about the project, team, future perspective and also do a calculation of possible rewards. Then I will choose the best one.  ;)

it is true that we must always do research before participating in prizes so as not to get caught up in fraud even though we sometimes believe it is good.
I hope that the fraudsters will be destroyed and new projects will continue to emerge because if there is no development, the hunter will be harmed.

current quality on old bounty and new bounties really have big space.more than 60% new campaign now has no quality, so in the end of campaign periode we received worthless reward.better to spend more time to observe before we decided to join on its campaign,if someday it be scam projects we will not regret at all.

Agree with the opinion you say, because indeed this has happened and maybe many people have experienced, not just me.
but indeed this is a condition that we cannot deny and hopefully in the future there will be changes that are frontal with the conditions you have said.

Old bounties and new bounties are one and the same. You just gain experience and stop doing everything in a row. You start the analysis.

well, it's doesn't matter for me.
at least i choose the promising bounty,its enough,and just waiting for take payment.
like simple survey at the beginning.

Old bounties were more profitable than new bounties, if we compare advantages between new bounties and old bounties. Yes indeed, new bounties give you token, you don't have any opinion about the price of the token. But in old bounties it was the average height above 100$. l would prefer old bounties.

I don't think that's the ideal indicator to determine whether a bounty is profitable or not. There is an old bounty that is profitable and not, as is the new bounty, it depends on which bounty we choose. What is the use of old bounty or new bounty if the reward distribution schedule is long? So, the important point is not there. Choose a bounty that gives greater effectiveness, both time, rules, and allocation. I prefer a bounty with a period that is not too long, working products and has been listed on the exchange.

in my opinion there is no significant difference between the old or new bounties. Since the market crashed, at the end of the day the bounty has become very vulnerable to scams because the project team doubted the success of their tokens, eventually they never launched it.

I agree with you that most of the bounty campaigns of new projects are of no value. People want to make sure they get paid for joining, so a lot of people choose to participate in campaigns of active projects,

Old bounties still the best. They are so many honest bounty managers, some times high paying and doesn't need a long time working.
Not like the new ones, that we need to do KYC every time we join on Bounty. And that makes us feel insecure because of our personal data is stored by unknown people.

Yeah! You are making sense. Though I'm really not into bounties but I'm still aware some happenings out there. For me, the golden era of bounties and signature campaigns as well was on the early to late 2017 because of the lively market. A friend of mine actually bought a not typical class of motorcycle here in our country through his earnings on bounties that year — in full cash payment :o. Imagine how big he earned that year. Also, hearing scam accusations and fraudulent bounty managers during those times are not as very often as today. Therefore, I might say that old bounties are way better than today's and the main root of this is the sudden growth of our population here (IMO).

old bounty is better than new bounty. i dont agree with u for point 4 old bounty, old bounty gives pay more than new bounty and also everyone here (old hunter) should agree with me.
Current bounty campaign has too many participants, which is why we get paid very little.

About payout maybe differenly but most the best payout still on old bounties. We can find so many bounty hunter sharing about it,years to years most of project just like playing victim with bounty hunter with locked their token or make us long waiting. For this experience im skipped the golden era,around 2017. So sad but it fact. Nothing regret. Cryptocurrency not for weak people.

I hate the bounty of old projects. Because they make a lot of requests for participants. but their budget is usually very low. May be 10-20 times lower than new projects

Don't forget that it depends on the time when the bounties releases. If we compare the bounties in the last two year with this year, I don't think that will work because the investor does not too interest with the bounties. They are getting lose the money because the project cannot give them profit after the project was released on the market or some of the projects delayed their project because of the market is at the bear market. But we could hope that the new project will get their time to reach their success like the other bounties.

In terms of giving the rewards token to all bounty hunters old bounty is much more good and better than new bounties.
Because in the new campaign nowadays I think only 5% are fulfilling their words to their projects. Then, the rest of the 95% are delaying most of the time the token distribution for the bounty participants. Even some of them become successful but still delayed payment and some
didn't give the rewards and others taking too long before it release the payment. 

What makes me agree with you is that both have advantages and disadvantages.
Old Bounties with new Bounties differ only in the level of promotion in my opinion. Regarding profits, I think what you mentioned is appropriate.

I think the old bounty and the new bounty are no different, except the 2017 bounty can benefit a lot of people, but for now a good bounty is sure to have many who participated to participate so the reward gets smaller.

Many people fail to choose the right bounty for promotions, so what are your experiences towards choosing the right bounty and what are the different steps to be taken before applying for the campaign. I try to analyze many times, but at last, failing to choose the right bounty.

indeed the bounty campaign was smoother and had large rewards, I think the market price also affected, until that time bitcoin became news to the whole world. but nowadays, there are many bounties like you mentioned, but there are still many bounty hunters who survive here. I think if the price of bitcoin bounces again, the conditions of the bounty program will change

just like me, I also often do the analysis, it's just that it's quite difficult. however, I might choose an old bounty, especially if it already has a market. the big difference between the old and new bounties is the allocation. sometimes a project that already has a market provides a not-so-large allocation. but it's quite appropriate. in this case, I tend to choose the old bounty, compared to the new one, but it all depends on the project.

You are very right. Old bounties are always sure to pay you since they won't wanna dent their made-reputation while a new bounty is always a joke. Either they deny you pay. Or they delay it

Very low?? What campaign you have joined bdw? Do you ever joined old bounty at 2017? I was got around $2800 with only make 1 article and 1 video.


Always bring profit? Could you elaborate which campaign did you mean about this one? In this current condition, bounty just more risky then gambling dude, just open your eyes.

Prize hunters really like old prizes because tokens already have an exchange and it doesn't take long to sell them when the project is finished but usually the rewards for the participants are small because many participants join in it, I personally like new projects sometimes the reward is unexpected.

I definitely agree that old bounty campaigns really pays and more chances of being successful bounty compaired to new ones. And speaking of bounty rewards, old bounty campaigns are more profitable campaign to now since there are only few participants for the old bounties unlike now many people knows how to earn on bounty campaigns.

you forgot to add to New Bounties the doesn't really give a S#*T about the people who advertise their project. almost all project
these days do this and it is sad that there might be good future project that may be affected because of these scums who only care about the
profit they'll make.

I think if there a bounty campaign launch from an old project that is more appealing since the project is already known. I'm very fond of those projects such as Populous, FunctionX, Quarkchain and many more. But also, still join some campaign from new one with potential to be useful in the future.

To be honest, I like old campaigns before the rise of IEO since only few got the chance to earn more from it. After the bull run happened many has swarm it now even here in forum.

Really good points in differentiating the old and new bounty system that's taking place. Though I prefer the old bounty since there's somehow a guarantee that I'll get paid, it's still good to see projects improving everything for all the participants. Though we can't avoid scam bounties, it's good to always  DYOR before participating and check verified sites (https://www.coincurb.com/?utm_source=lx) to see if the bounty that you're participating into is legit or not. That's gonna save you more time and will not put your efforts into waste.

Well you're right, old bounties are more reliable to gain profit rather than the new ones nowadays.

But just like what you said, old bounties are giving small reward compared to new, but you can maximize your earnings by joining in multiple bounties especially in social media campaign.

in the old bounty I participate if they are not very complicated. i take part in new bounties if the project looks reliable. so, in today's environment, you should participate in all good companies

in today's conditions, there is a lot of competition for participation in new (good) projects. and we should always be careful and not miss a good project

Old bounties are just nice to be part of, since there is no way to get worried about project. It already exist and you most at times get paid for it. Just that it might not be enough but it always worth it than just relying on new project which often than not tend out o be scam project

The biggest difference between OLD and NEW Bounty for me is:

OLD
1. Coin/token can be sold at a high price because dumper on OLD Bounty era is lower than the NEW era
2. Less scam project
3. Most of the Coin/token that we receive from bounty is good for holding because most of the project has a good fundamental

NEW
1. Token/coin lockup that I really hate it, after token unlocked price already dumped  :'(
2. Most of token/coin that we received become shitcoin because of no market and demand
3. Too much scam project

Old projects have limited bounty campaigns, they focus on bounties that scammer their project more such as BUG bounty, Developing of Dapps on their platform. Bancor has an ongoing bounty of best developed Dapps on its platform. That's the nature of old campaign it doesn't give room to multiple participants.
new campaign on the other hand has room for all kinds of campaigns.
All the same old campaigns are better than new ones if there's provision for normal bounty tasks.

I miss old bounty :'( when for bounty social media no need to make report on bounty thread (thats why im not joining social media bounty because need report) ,a little bit scam project and yeah most of project all good
and i still hold some token from old bounty

Participating in new bounty campaigns is more risky. However, the amount of prizes in new bounty campaigns is higher. However, before joining a new bounty campaign, a more detailed research is required. Because a new project is more likely to return scam. That's why we need to be more careful.

yes the statement that you convey is true that the old prize campaign is guaranteed safe because tokens already have their own exchanges while the new prize campaign must wait a long time until they are listed on the exchange. besides that the risk of fraud in the old bounty campaign is less than the new bounty campaign is more risky.

Your points are clearly noted and I quite agree with your assessment. In addition however, I will go for new projects. It's a greater risk but it pays far more than old projects if it succeeds. I like that kind of risk than engaging in risk free adventure with deplorable pay like most bounties paying in Bitcoin do.

It seems to me that in old and new bounties there is often a scam. Payouts can also be small in both cases. Here you can not guess!

There are exceptions in both, and I am also not quite sure what you mean by old bounties and new ones. How do you categorize them?

I definitely prefer old bounties because they really paying and it's not bad if you earn $10 a week, but it is difficult to join one of them because many members applying and the participants are limited and some required high rank like Hero+. So no choice still joining new bounties.

If told to choose, I prefer old bouties, where the old bounties will definitely get paid and a few cases of scam. New bounties are now a lot of scam cases where it's a waste of time and useless thoughts.

Your statement is quite interesting and I agree with that. But it is also worth noting that the results of the coins of the old project are also many of the concern, many still have no selling value. The ICO is able to provide good revenue results especially for Bounty campaigns and this happened in 2017.

New Bounty gives new hope as well. It's time we're active in investing in IEO and doing Bounty campaigns. By continuing to collect coins from IEO, I think that I will also give a good expectation in the year 2020.

the difference between old bounties and new bounties is the number of pegs in campaign bets and the risk of fraud.
if the old project the prize is usually not large plus the distribution of pegs in the campaign will be a little because there are certainly many participants who are interested in the old project.
while new projects are at risk of a scam, plus they have to wait for the distribution of tokens on the market, sometimes tokens also don't have a sale price.

but you have to see how there were not many productive projects in holding a bounty campaign. only a few, and before ICO, several projects also paid bounties with BTC as they are now. but maybe the value is really really very little. because once the bounty didn't really produce before 2016-2017. I see its development is very fast every year.

I prefer the old bounty than the new bounty now because then you have a great chance to earn big because when you promote their project, but now the revenue process is very long and always delayed.

for me I would rather have the new bounty than the old bounty because the new bounty is now updated and much altered Not so long ago as the system is very sluggish and the income is bigger now because the cyrptocurrency is now much higher than before.

I agree with your question between the old bounty and the new bounty that has very big differences, the bounties used to be very consistent, always really pay and can be traded directly on the high market. The success rate is very high. always do not match their road map, most of which do not always provide real performance and false data

Bounty projects that have entered the exchange will be many who register so the allocation obtained becomes smaller but we are not worried about payment or scam

Something is wrong with your differentiation between old and new. Old bounties are not extremely low in payments. THEY ARE ACTUALLY BIGGER THAN YOU THOUGHT. You never know that there could be someone that could earn $10,000 with just one bounty. And how can you differentiate old bounties from new? You registered only this year? :/

Yes. Old bounties are paying well than these new bounties that are full of uncertainties. We can be very confident in participating different campaigns in the previous years because our efforts will surely be paid off unlike today most bounty campaigns are only a waste of time because they won't even pay the bounty hunters a good amount of their share and is always delayed. So if i have a time machine, i would rather go back to the time of old bounties because there are still less scams that time.

Does have a little bit sense but I don't see too much of those old bounties yet if theres one its been plagued out by participants since they do know that they would surely be paid out but as you said they do really have that low payout which is considerable since they are paying a established coin and the allocation of marketing budget is only at that draw line.

For new bounties it isn't really that surprising about delays and scam everywhere which on the end their participants haven't been paid out for their months of work on advertising their shitty project but talking about on the profits we've know on how these new projects can potentially give out huge income if they are listed on a particular exchange but somehow chances are too slim into this scenario.

Old bounties way back 2017 are 90 percent real and will pay you.
While now we are looking for the 20 percent good project and half of it will be good payment.

It is very hard to do bounties now! i still like to take back time or bring 2017 now!

That's because you didn't notice the significant differences because old bounties were totally fair in terms of paying bounty hunters the require token for work done cause the project actually stick to their promises while some new bounties cheat and have seen a bounty which ended last year and yet to pay their bounty participant despite the project is doing well in market. Besides, I have seen bounties where their participants are not paid because they did not participate until the end of the bounty campaign.

Old bounties are great since we can ensure about the undertaking is genuine and recorded on exchanges. Be that as it may, we have a few dangers as well. Since certain exchanges recorded coins additionally can be defrauded. Be that as it may, those bounties have low portions and getting an enormous number of members. That implies members prizes will be a low sum. I think the new bounties means extends in ICO/IEO period before getting dispatch. Those bounties give a greater number of assignments than coins officially recorded on exchanges. The best thing is we can't anticipate about exchanges and prices when we taking a shot at bounties. We can get a decent measure of remunerations from it on the off chance that you pick right bounties.

With the advent of IEO and increase in the number of bounty cheaters new bounty platform has being abuse, old bounties tend to pay hunter fast compare to the new bounty, regulation in the cryptocurrency space is the solution to the menace of bounty abuse from developer and bounty hunter.

Indeed, more fake and unprofessional projects nowadays, only want to benefit from the popularity of cryptocurrency but are not serious about running the project. The saturated market condition also influences the price development, many tokens have low prices, under ICO, which affects investor confidence. Later, after the existence of IEO, investor confidence has begun to form along with a slightly conducive market situation.
Well, bounty campaigns are always full of surprises and the unthinkable. Throughout 2018 I was stuck in a number of unprofitable projects and my work ended in vain. So I prefer projects that are already listed on the exchange.

Old bounties has higher reputation the the new ones. They seem to be paying but some bounties whether old or new give higher payments depends on the token's potential. But we can't really say tht old bounties can be hold for a long term or even the new bounties. Majority of them were creates for fund raised only thus after listing it in an exchange, the price won't go up as well. Thus, not advisable for long term hodl.

Projects are now very many scams, different from old projects, because there are many very good and quite expensive results that we get

honestly I prefer the old bounty over the new bounty because I used to get a big profit after participating in the old bounty. the coins we get from the old bounty have a large volume different from the new bounty that was launched to date, there is absolutely no volume in the market. I am sad why the new bounty is now so many scams. back to the point if the old bounty is the best. :)

Old bounties are better, especially those that are already listed on exchanges. However, the rewards of old campaigns are lower, you have confidence that you will get those rewards. 90 percent of all new bounties are trash.

Bounty trend is gone forever I think. At least this activities give less profit than they used to give us. Too many people involved, too many scams and uncertainty, this game is not worth the candle.

I do not mind that bounty campaigns are now less profitable. Market cappitalization is 10 times smaller than in 2017. So price of altcoins is 10 times cheaper. Even I earn less, I buy more altcoins  :P.
But I am afraid that less and less bounty campaigns will be avaiable for us.  :'(

What interests me most is the bounty, where there is a guarantee that you will not be deceived. The best guarantee is a weekly payment in some kind of stable coin, which is traded on exchanges and has its price.
It is a pity that such bounty campaigns are almost never found on the crypto market at present.

It is obvious that bounty hunting nowadays is really harder and less profitable than a few years ago. The number of legitimate and promising projects is actually really limited, and the payment takes longer time, and it is also smaller than before. But it is still somehow profitable if you pick the best campaigns.

I do not think that the bounty campaigns have become worse than the previous ones.
Of course, the cryptocurrency market itself sank very much, so the rewards are not as generous as before, especially since many scammers seek to deceive you.
But I continue to believe in the bounty and I think I will achieve some success in this.

I am quite reminded when the heyday of the old Bounty where tokens have a pretty good value in the market and the old Bounty is not much of a scam.But different at this time many Bounties are scams and there is a long distribution delay so that some Bounty participants are bored and choose to leave Bounty work for a while.

Now it seems to me that there are few worthy bounty campaigns that you can completely trust. There used to be more. But participation in promising bounty campaigns even now can bring good profits in the future. Therefore, I continue to remain in the market and believe.

I would chose new bounties over old bounties especially those who are already on exchanges or those planning to conduct IEO's in no time. Some of the old bounties were not successful so couldn't pay.

I believe that the old rewards were better than the new ones. Previously, there were more fraudulent projects, but rarely there were projects in which bounty hunters did not receive earned tokens, and now there are few bounty projects, and more often there are scammers who try to deceive bounty hunters by any means - to pay a small amount or nothing at all pay by coming up with various obstacles.

Definitely, the old bounties are better and more reliable. Although the payment for work in them is usually low due to the large number of participants, but the payment is guaranteed. The new bounties are a lottery and suspense. I usually participate in both cases.

I dont think there are any fundamental differences between the "old" and the "new" campaigns. Back in the old days you had a much greater chance to score big as a much higher percentage of projects have successfully listed on solid exchanges, so you were able to liquidate your rewards without a sweat. Its a completely opposite situation right now.

This completely depends on the market situation, back in the old times of ICO, the market is good, so bounty hunting is also good.
Bounty reward are coming from successful altcoins project,  and if we look at the market now, altcoins has really struggle and just even holding a little dominant rate compared to the year 2017 and 2018.

Let's adjust to the current situation while still continuing to work for bounty, it doesn't matter if we will get a smaller reward now as long as bounty hunting is still alive. For sure in the long run, there will be a major improvement that we will all enjoy.

In my opinion there is a big difference between the conditions in 2017 and 2018 until now. 2017 is a good year for cryptocurrency investors, where many altcoins provide huge profits while in 2018 and this year, many new projects have failed to reach the token sales target due to the many ICO scams in 2018

Of course, old projects were more successful than those that appear now. Most of all I remember the year 2017, when the bounty programs showed the best result. Now, as noted above in the post, there is no stability in the new bounty companies. Very often outright scammers appear, or the conditions change not in favor of the participants, but it happens that they don’t want to pay for the work done. The difference between Old and New Bounties is big.

Yes I think you are making some sense and for me, I will always go for old bounties instead of new ones, I wouldn't allow those huge reward promises to lure me into promoting their scam projects. Before I will do a bounty for any new project, then that project has been proven to deserve my time and attention

Everyone will think the same thing, will go in and promote old projects. But can we only hope for the old project? Because one thing must be kept in mind that we cannot continue to wait for long projects, because they sometimes don't exist.
So a new project is also good to promote, if it's really a good project.

I have been participating in bonus programs since 2017 ,. At that time, everything was very easy, the number of participants was small, the amount received for each campaign was very large. However, it now seems that investors are losing faith in altcoin platforms. Besides, the number of people participating in the bonus program is very large, the bonus managers worry that the bounty hunters who receive the reward will sell off and bring a wave of dump to the project. So, right now the bounty hunters are really poor.

Im agree with you and all your words make perfect sense. 1-2 years ago I earn bitcoin through trading and as a bounty hunter. At that time I got more bitcoin as a bounty hunter which meant that old bounties became my favorite to earn bitcoin. But this is inversely proportional to the current situation. For now I get more bitcoin from trading rather than payment from bounties. If viewed from income, old bounties vs new bounties, I think my bitcoin income is greater with old bounties ;D

Old bounties were more profitable and easier than new bounties. Nowadays, the number of profitable bounties is already decreasing, and you have to make an effort to identify good projects. The payment for bounty hunting is actually also lower compared to old bounties.

It's rather funny, comparing the features of the old and new bounties. Crytocurrency projects of nowadays are short lived and that explains why bounty hunters are swift at dumping the tokens as soon as an opportunity is sighted. The old good days are no more, so we need to adapt to the reality of the present market and make the best out of the cryptocurrency industry.

Bounties are affected by the market. Trust me on this, if we enter a bull run like the 2017 one, many bounties will tend to be very profitable as project owners know the market won't dump so there will be very little or no delays in payments. But as it is, the market is very unpredictable and it tends to dip with ease as btc moves so you cannot blame devs for delaying payments

There  have been many scams in the past hence it  should not be assumed that scams are associated with only new projects. Even in the past, some bounties programs paid more but the coin ended up being delisted on many exchanges. The OP made alot of sense but not in its entirety on his/her opinion on both old and new bounties.

When you were a bounty hunter in 2016-2017, you could buy everything what you wanted - new pc, mobile phone, car. But now? You can´t buy almost anything except very cheap cryptocurrencies.  ;D

 ;D I find this humorous, but there is truth  in it. I think think made a lot of people to be carried away with bounties, thinking that it will continue that way. There were no complaints until lately that rewards started getting very small. Some are not even receiving anything, because they are promoting scam projects that end up not paying anything. However, there are still a handful good number of bounty campaigns, but you might need to do research before you can be sure they are good and it entails working hard.

indeed the old bounty and the new bounty have advantages and disadvantages, although the new bounty can generate greater profits if the project is successful but I prefer the old bounty because the new bounty is more risky and many scam projects now, the tokens of the new bounty are not immediately listed on the exchange so that makes us have to wait long if you want to sell

When did cryptocurrency itself started that we have started separating it by new generation and old generation, the same generation that was behind the old one are still the same generation behind the new ones, juts that the people that did old ICO were people who are really serious, like people who were raising funds from IPO then, they are genuine people and they all have a registered company that has real working product, but there are people that are scam and they saw an opportunity and took it, and through their activities, they corrupted the good ones, and they joined them too in releasing projects just for money purpose and not to develop the project like people in the olden days developed it. We still have some new projects that you can really trust.

The clear cut demarcation between the old and new bounties is with their project standards. Projects of today, barely have an intension to be long term, most of the developers are only interested in cashing out once their targets has been reached and this gives lesser credibility to cryptocurrencies projects.

Obviously the old bounties were a lot more profitable than new bounties. In the past, even the number of participants was very limited, so the payment was high too. Now the pool allocated to bounties is smaller and there is a big number of participants in each campaign.

The idea of new bounties is that, people have so enjoyed the flavor of cryptocurrency in the past and then it became a standard that very crypto project should come with such juicy offers but then the eras are different. Before now, investors don't have challenges with investing in projects and that made projects hit their hard cap in their estimated ICO period and that made their payment easy and enlisting as well, but it has changed and new bounties aren't in that shape too.

If the team really could fulfill all the conditions in relation to the participants of the Bounty companies and at the end of the Bounty the companies would pay whatever they promised, then in this regard it would be very useful to limit the number of participants and thereby save higher earnings for Bounty hunters and without causing  great harm to the project after listing.  But for this period, the tendency to deceive hunters remains, even if the project showed more or less normal results.

A good idea to limit the number of hunters, and it will increase the value of bounty companies. But in this case , there is no guarantee that the hunter will get anything. It's 2019, not 2017.

The idea is to compare the new and old bounties is not necessarily about the profit. I guess he is fussing about how his work has not been as rewarding as in previous year, where a month reward can above $5000. I guess if the ICO and altcoins was as rewarding he wont start this thread. The overall space is affected and may not know that bitcoin itself will miss the altcoin's pull very soon if things does not change.

I think is just the market situations that are affecting the whole bounties basically the need to collect enough fund for the project and most time is just not enough so team decide to still move with project That is really going to take some time to for listing and  other managements

Can we classify coins that have already been listed and organizing small bounty campaigns as old one. If we are putting them into consideration, I will say not they are not always profitable, because the allocations are usually very small, perhaps because they have been listed. New bounty is preferable, but the risk is higher.

prefer a new one because the old project 2017-2018, if we look at using applications like Etherscan or similar applications. many tokens that we get into decoration or trash even some are destroyed for example -90% / - 100% of the price of ico even more, for new projects of course it's good because they offer fresh ideas and also I'm sure the results are not the same as the old projects.

I don't think it makes sense to compare the new and old bounties.If you want to earn you will participate in all bounties just to earn.Difficult times now for the participants of the bounty,but nevertheless if you work hard you will not stay hungry.

I agree. Old or new bounties are not a problem that we should worry about. We just need to focus on analyzing the project (Business model and future development), its use, allocation, and bounty period. Choose the one that really promises. However, if the end is not in line with expectations do not regret it, that's the risk. Cryptocurrency, especially bounties, is full of unpredictability.

For me, bounties in old time is give me more payout than the new bounties, because the Ethereum price is so high up to 1000$. Now the market in the low condition not than before 1 year ago.

New bounties, well it's not like profitable anymore just like 2017, but I'm still hoping to get high reward in new bounties because I know some project their are worthy for investors and also bounty hunters so I do not give up joining new bounties.

I have mixed opinions with you about the income the bounty receives from old and new bounty. I have been in the crypto market for almost 2 years and just made bounty hunters.
Last year, even if the market went down, I still got from $ 500 - $ 700 per project. Such as Shivom, Zuflo, WPP, ...
but with projects now, I only get from $ 100 - $ 230. The income level has clearly decreased.

   Before we didn`t have so many bounties like we have now. With not so many bounties it was easier to make difference
between good and bad bounties. Now only difference is that there are so many of them, nobody bother to check them
all. Probably now we have more bad bounties then good ones.
   Situation is confusing, but I still think that there are good bounties with long-term plans.

I agree with that, old bounties have more advantage over the new ones. Right now, new projects cannot raised that much thats why hunters pick the old bounties because they give assurance that they will getting paid. While the new bounties are more like a gamble and the new strategy of team nowadays keep locking the bounty tokens for a long time.

I see a difference between the new bounty and the old bounty, we find a lot of new bounties that are scam and sheer nonsense. and what you have said is very true, because we experienced the events of the new bounty and old bounty. The new bounty greatly disappointed the bounty campaign participants because the results obtained did not match the performance carried out for several months.

I personally prefer old bounty to new bounty now, although many old bounty adopt ico as their sale and aside from fraudulent gifts, there are some old bounties that did provide great income for participants at that time and even some old bounty to this day was still continues to grow and has a very expensive selling price token. And this is very different from the new bounty now, although today many bounty projects do ieo as their sales system, but that cannot guarantee that bounty participants will get the right payment because many of the new bounties now have a token price expensive during ieo, but after ieo tokens are finished, their token prices have fallen very cheaply in the market, and even in the last few months many bounties have delayed distribution or cut payment allocations for bounty participants.

Nothing beat the old bounties, the rule is simple and receiving your token was very fast and the reward value is high. In old bounties you don't need to wrestled just to get your rewards. It was really simple.

Lol, i can relate because i know bounty campaigns nowadays are like that.
Bounties in the past are very good to take a part of it. You can create contents and articles for many campaigns.
but now, it will be more efficient to join in single but good campaign than many campaign but you don't know whether you will be paid or not.

Now the better campaigns that are already on the stock exchange will be better and we will definitely be paid if we take part in it, but if it is still an ICO, I am still in doubt for now.

I like the system in old bounty. Obviously everybody does and it will always be that time since most projects and campaign before have a really good chance to prosper and took some income and profits. I font think number 4 point in youre post is true. If youre joining signature before, even a member rank can earn as much as 300 to 1k usd depends on how the campaign is good and huge.

I would disagree on your number 5 statement on new bounties. Based on my own experience, I earned a lot from old bounties and it is really easy to notice which is scam or not by doing research and nowadays profit are not that good and mostly will not pay on time. I am doing this for more than 2years now and I can say it is better in old days.

The language used here is not correct. It should have been "bounty campaigns for existing projects" and "bounty campaigns for new projects". The first category is rare and you may find them only occasionally here in Bitcointalk. But a large number of users prefer such campaigns (examples are Veil, Denarius, M8Coin.etc) as they are guaranteed of a payment (no matter how small this "payment" can be). New projects are extremely risky to promote at this point, as anywhere from 80% to 90% of them end up as failures (either not reaching the soft-cap, or the campaign managers refusing to pay the rewards to campaign participants). The rewards can be higher for new campaigns if they are successful. But are you willing to take this much risk?

yup! i agree with you.
i think now taking a lot of bounty is like wasting a lot of our time because sometimes the results do not match the results of our hard work.

bounty is not like a few years ago, so as you said it's better to do a single bounty campaign but the results we get are in accordance with the work we do.

Due to the bull market in 2017, most of the projects , their ICOs and bounty programs were successful because the projects attracted investors of all calibre. In 2018, bounty programs did not pay as compared to 2017 due to the long bear market which affected many projects and their ICOs. However, 2019 is quite better than 2018 but cannot be compared to 2017.

Bounty campaign depends also on the overall market situation, if the market is bullish, we will definitely see more successful bounty with happy bounty hunters. For almost 2 years already, there's still no major recovery in the market, except for BTC but all bounty campaign are coming from altcoins market, therefore there's still no major improvement until now.

Maybe there's a little improve since there are projects in IEO that are traded in exchange right away, but due to small reward and big demand, this does not produce a reward like people usually enjoy in 2017.

Old prizes are superior in the aspect of project fraud, I mean old projects that launch their programs again don't risk fraud. while new projects are quite risky but not unexpected. usually if a real new project can produce a good and valuable token, it can even exceed the initial price at ico.

Way better to consume your time researching for good bounty campaigns then joining more and wasted your time time. It's hard to blindly keeps on participating without any further assurance that it will results receiving decent outcomes. Better to focus and follow the progress of a project that you think will work successfully.

With so many complaints regarding to new projects that isn't performing and only scamming participants, you need to have more time analyzing and observing to avoid making mistakes.

For me i prefer to join to a old bounties rather than new bounties. As you can see bounties that are new has the highest percentage of scammers,when your joining a bounty you have to explore before joining in because some bounties has the higher percentage of exchanges but low investors.

I think the post you made is very rational. Bounty on an old project that is already on the exchanger is safer but every bounty, both new and old, there are always pluses and minuses. Old bounties sometimes allocate small tokens with large numbers of participants while new bounties provide a large budget with not too many participants

most of the old project now has zero to none value or even delisted on an exchange. but there are few that still good and kicking.
as for the new bounty it is very rough  now to know which bounty campaign would pay. Its all about luck now compare to the old bounty.

actually depends on how you aim, if you take the signature part you can determine your destiny here. if you participate in an old project there is no risk of fraud but sometimes the prizes of the old project are not large, because there are many participants involved in it but you are guaranteed not to be trapped by a fraud hole.

your post is correct and makes sense. I also agree with your opinion, the new bounty is indeed getting worse now. different from the old bounty that even their coins can exist until now. the more here we have to be more careful, so as not to get caught up in a bounty scam.

Either old or new bounties what hunters care most about is payment, real payments from real bounties, not payments on spreadsheets that will have big value but in the end its valueless, bounties nowadays hardly pay hunters so it doesn't matter if its new or old

we can conclude that bounty campaigns are no longer bringing us good money. We need to find a new job to cover our lives.
If we depend too much on these projects, we will always be poor. because Bull Run will never happen again, everything will be submerged in a pile of junk which scammers leave.

Saying bullrun will never happen again is misleading, i wonder why bitcoin surge to 10k from 3k this 2019 alone, thats a bullrun my friend and only altcoins are left out thats  why many like you are complaining,altcoin time will come i am sure of it and ive decide to only keep coins that are worth keeping

Choose a bounty that is manage by the high rank and reputable member in this forum and expect they will not scam you.
If they will do that, they would get red tag and it's not easy to rank up to hero especially to legendary, unless that is a bought account but you know a reputable member is not a bought account as DT would not trust them.

Bounty hunting these days is very hard, but I'm sure we can still find some paying campaigns, but please, let's move on already, let us not compare the old bounty since in 2017 its already part of the history, this year the market struggle so expect some difficulties in bounty as well.

it’s just hard for new rewards. it is difficult for projects to develop and it is difficult to reach a good price level after listing because the market is full of manipulations

- Not only you, almost a lot of people like old bounty when it actually pays them, more precisely, the reward is the listed tokens, we won't need to worry too much about whether we will need to wait or can we sell in the future or not. But a very fair point is the reward is limited, the pool is not too big, the old bounty usually lasts for a short time, there are very few such bounty at the moment, so people can only try to bet on new bounty with reputable managers, hoping to have a profit in the future.

Old bounty have good chance to pay out because most of them not ended scam like new bounty, now days hard to find good and worth bounty campaign to join. And also the amount of member that join in campaign not higher than now

New bountities completely depending on IEO Ieo are new trend in market but whereas old bounty are paid in times new bounty should keep paitience

New bounties more profitable?

Which of the last times did you earn high profits between Bountyhive, Bounty0x or Bitcointalk bounties?
But when I look back at the old days, I've made $ 1,000 in bounties. But now, it's only 100-200$
Robust projects now make IEO on the exchanges instead of bounty. I haven't seen the quality and timely bounty in bitcointalk for a long time.

Incredible what you have detailed, I absolutely agree that almost everything you have detailed is happening right now.
although there may be some who do not deviate, but if you have to compare with deviations, obviously more deviations. this is an obstacle that occurs for new bounties, how to make such an existence can be quickly passed. need socialization from colleagues to help and encourage the bounty in crypto to be excited again.

New might provide you good but most of them are scam. I visited a trusted site (https://www.coincurb.com/bountyc/?cat_id=188) bounty listed there are really good and most likely to pay you. I believe before starting any bounty campaign, person should analysis it first.

Yes, I agree with your opinion, the old bounty is like you said the bonus is low and the probability will be received but is lower than the new bonus, the more new the risk is. also taller and not necessarily safer.

You have a point, i remember getting involved with some old bounties back in time and i could say that i was holding their coins/tokens for a period of time because there was a trust in the whole ecosystem. As you have mentioned, nowadays there's a trouble in trust : we could not trust these new project neither rely on them because they might seem like fishy sometimes. You do make a sense in your topic.

Don't gamble with your time. Stick to the reliable bounties, I've seen may new ones come and go and never pay out! More so, stick to bounties that have a long lasting business model.

And if we analyze it now there are only projects which in my opinion are not so good to be promoted. we ourselves have to talk more about the fact that there is indeed a bounty at this time which is no longer able to provide huge benefits for the participants

This year 2017 is the old ico that can be said for sure. So if the project's longest run is only 2 months and then just 2 weeks after the project, the payment will go straight to your erc20 wallet, unlike today from 2018 up to now most of them till now without exchange, others abandoned their telegram channel and others ignored their project, the thickness of the face. With the new projects now, often it seems, the campaign will end sooner but the distribution of rewards after 3 months or after 3months, while others openly betray the bounty hunters and make the bounty hunters stupid and beggar, is the truly trending to this day.
